前幾天在科技部與台東大學主辦的「兒童文學的跨界應用」裡，我負責的展區主題是「繪本與終身學習：從藝術、人文、商業觀察兒童文學的影響」。身為演展人員最大的遺憾就是無法仔細看別人的場，不過我倒是趁人少的時候，也到別人的展區逛逛，過了舒服又疲累的一天。最後在Q&A時，主辦的游珮芸老 more

內容簡介

The inspiring true story of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who has become an international activist for universal education, with beautiful collage illustrations by award-winning artist Susan L. Roth.

Now in paperback!

Growing up in the Swat Valley of Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai loved books and school. But in 2009, the Taliban came to power and closed all schools for girls. Malala, just eleven years old, began to speak and blog about the right of all children to receive an education.

Soon fighting broke out and Malala’s family fled the Swat Valley. After the fighting ceased, they returned home, and Malala continued to speak out. That’s when she was shot by a Taliban gunman, but her life-threatening injury only strengthened Malala’s resolve. In 2013, just nine months after being attacked, Malala addressed the United Nations about the right of every child to receive an education, and in 2014, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. At age seventeen, she was the youngest person ever to receive this honor.

This book is more than a biography of a brave, outspoken girl who continues to fight for the millions of children worldwide who are not able to go to school. It is also a testament to the power of education to change the world for girls and boys everywhere.
